Chapter 24
*HOOOOWWWWLLLL!!!*
A howl sounded out that shock the ground, as soon as the other silver wolves heard it they laid down and rolled over on their backs showing their stomachs, the howl could be heard in the entire city and chilled everyone that heard it to their cores, except one of course, Mike wore a big smile as he watched Serina slowly get onto her feet but he soon had a bad permotion and used [Control] on Serina which made her calm down and look at Mike with more gentle eyes than before, besides that there was another obvious change Serina's fur was now vermilion red, it looked almost like flowing blood which made Mike swallow his saliva
'You sure look delicious Serina'
Mike reached out and patted Serina on the head feeling her fluffy ears brought him great healing and Serina also wagged her tail with much more energy than before, Lana looked on with happiness clear in her old eyes before she also walked up and patted Serina
"Good… Very good Mike… Come on old girl let's go outside"
Mike watched as Lana took Serina outside of the barn before he also followed them out into the sunlight, when his eyes adjusted to the sunlight he saw Serina running around in the fenced in area like a puppy playing around jumping and running, she looked nothing like she did before, Lana stood and watched with tears forming in the corner of her eyes, Mike watched Serina play around with the other silver wolves with a slight smile on his face. After a while Serina gave a bark and walked over to Mike and laid down on her stomach right in front of him, Lana quickly explained
"She wants you to ride her"
"Okay, how do I..?"
"Just get on her back and hold on tight!"
Mike gave a nod and climbed onto Serina's back and held himself by using his legs, then Serina shut up and lot out a loud happy howl before she began running around the fenced in area with Mike on her back, Mike himself had once ridden a horse but this was nothing like it, maybe it was because his body had changed and gotten more fit but he felt more in control on her back and after experimenting a bit he found out he was able to direct her by moving his legs slightly, this was no doubt due to Serina's training.
After riding around for about half an hour Rebecca also joined Mike on Serina's back and to Mike's surprise it didn't really seem to affect Serina's mobility too much, she was even able to jump over the fence and run around the manor for a few hours until it became dark, then Mike fed her with some meat surprisingly finding that she liked raw meat more than the other silver wolves that preferred cooked meat to completely raw meat
'Don't worry, I'll feed you plenty in the future'
Mike gave a slight smile as he feed another piece of meat to Serina, at that moment Rebecca leaned down next to Mike and petted
"Master diner have been served"
"Got it…"
Mike looked over and was captivated by Rebecca for a moment before he snapped out of it and shook his head
'Julie would kill me for that… probably… and possibly also Rebecca too...gotta find a fix for that..'
As Mike thought about doing a so called 'quick fix' by draining all of Rebecca's blood with [Drink] at once Lana called out to both of them from behind, ending Mike's thought about offing Rebecca
"Come on you two, dinner is ready"
"...Yeah be right there"
Mike shelved his plan to 'off' Rebecca indefinitely as it simply would be a waste of hard earned money
'Yeah it'll be fiiine… I hope'
Still he felt a slight chill when he thought about what would happen when Julie found out he had brought a female slave, but then a thought occurred to him
'Wait… Does she even like me…'
Mike got depressed during the meal and even though Lana and Rebecca sensed that he was a little out of it and tried to cheer him up he remained depressed until he went to bed, Rebecca even offered to 'cheer him up' but he simply ignored her and fell asleep…
In the middle of the night Mike suddenly woke up and yelled
"NO!"
The knife paused mid air about to pieced the eyeball of a very surprised a.s.sa.s.sin
"Come back"
The knife flew back and landed in Mike's hand as he rose from the bed and spoke
"What do you want? No what does Ø want?"
The a.s.sa.s.sin was surprised and spent a few moment calming down before she spoke
"Vampire blade, you haven't reported in for sometime"
Mike gave a sigh and got out of bed as he spun the knife around looking displeased
"Well I figured I would take some time off after I reached level 3"
"Level 3!?"
The a.s.sa.s.sin looked very surprised, confusion plagued her eyes which was the only part of her face that was visible behind a mask before she spoke out in disbelief
"But it's only been four months since you joined Ø!?"
Mike opened his mouth to speak but quickly snapped out of it and yelled again
"Stop, Rebecca!"
Rebecca froze about to stab the a.s.sa.s.sin in the back with a knife once again startling the a.s.sa.s.sin, Mike gave a smile and did his best sales person's speech
"What do you think? I picked her up for cheap, She can take over my duties, no?"
The a.s.sa.s.sin thought for a moment before she gave a nod and spoke
"I understand, but I'll inform the elders that you have reached level 3 and they'll send you on high profile missions… This will be great for Ø..! Meanwhile I'll take this one back to headquarters for basic training"
Rebbca gave a nod and kneeled down on one knee and spoke
"I'll not disappoint you master"
Mike gave a nod and was about to speak again before he got interrupted and yelled once again
"Stop Serina!"
Serina morphed out of pure darkness, her jaws were already around the a.s.sa.s.sins neck paused mid bite, Mike's smile got wider as he thought about how he now owned a giant blood colored wolf that could fade into pure darkness in order to mount sneak attacks on his enemies
'Well that's one childhood dream fulfilled…onto owning my own giant super robot that can fight aliens from s.p.a.ce'
The a.s.sa.s.sin once again swallowed a mouthful of saliva before she spoke
"...Do you have one more of those for Ø?"
"Nope~ This one's mine and mine alone, aren't you Serina?"
Serina gave a low bark and wagged her tail at probably-near-the-speed-of-light, The a.s.sa.s.sin gave a nod and looked over at Rebecca before she gave a snort and spoke
"Then follow me slave"
Mike narrowed his eyes and kicked off the ground before he instantly appeared in front of the a.s.sa.s.sin and punched her right in the stomach sending her flying right into the opposite wall before he instantly reappeared right in front of her and put the knife up to her neck before he spoke
"No one talks to her like that… Understand..? You see she's mine and mine alone"
"...I understand"
"Good"
Mike let go of the a.s.sa.s.sin and walked over to Rebecca and kneeled down and lifted up Rebecca's face before he put on a gentle smile and spoke
"Remember that, you are mine, that means you are better than them"
"...Yes master!"
Mike gave a nod and looked back at the a.s.sa.s.sin before he spoke
"Leave now and remember my words"
"...Yes"
The a.s.sa.s.sin gave a looked at Rebecca and gestured for her to follow her before she left though the window, Rebecca gave Mike a look before she left too, Mike gave a nod and walked back and sat down on the bed before Serina trotted over and laid her head onto Mike's legs as she looked up at him with raised ears. Mike gave another sigh before he showed a smile and asked
"Wanna sleep here tonight?"
Serina gave a bark as her tail wagged before she crawled up onto the bed which promptly collapse breaking its legs making it collapse onto the floor before she looked at Mike
"Oh well, I hope Lana doesn't mind…'
Mike walked on top of the now collapsed bed and over to Serina before he sat down leaning against her and looked up into the ceiling as he spoke out
"What do you say we head to Morkove tomorrow girl?"
Serina gave a bark and wagged her tail before she laid her head down and closed her eyes, Mike pulled up his blanket and also closed his eyes while thinking about a certain silver haired woman and while he drifted away a thought pa.s.sed though his head
'I hope she likes me back…'
